About the Designer

In 1975, designer Christian Restoin gave menswear shirts a glam, feminine appeal with the launch of Equipment clothing, which became recognized for refined tailoring and timelesness. After years of perfecting the shirt, Serge Azria re-launched Equipment in 2010, retaining its sophisticated French minimalism while fusing it with laid-back California style. Androgynous silhouettes and discreet sexiness show the many facets of the Equipment woman: she is strong, chic, adventurous, sexy, and above all, classic.

I've been eyeing this blouse for a while and finally got it in black (it's actually more charcoal/greyish black in person) on sale (for some reason the price is higher than the US pricing for some countries so it was way too pricey for me). The most expensive shirt/blouse I own, but the quality and how cute and stylish it is made me forgot about the price. I'm large chested, weigh 135lbs and wear an M in RAILS shirts. I got this in M as well but it was more loose fitting than Rails, and the sleeves and length were a bit long for my height too! I can solve the problem by tucking in the shirt so that's fine. Since return shipping fee is high and I won't be able to get the prepaid import tax back, I decided to keep this! I suggest sizing down if you want a more fitted look like the model. Now I want to get the white one in S! (Waiting for the next sale)

Huge fan of Equipment. Great quality shirts that can be dressed up or down so it works both for the office and on the weekends. If you haven't purchased an Equipment shirt in a while, the sizing has changed. I'm 5'8 and a 4/6 and I used to wear an XS/S in the signature blouses because they ran HUGE. They've modified their sizing in the past couple years. I ordered a medium in this and it fits perfectly (slightly blousier than the model, so if you want it more form fitting I might suggest sizing down)

This shirt is AMAZING! The fabric is substantial and classy. I ordered both black and blue- both are great! I didn't order white as I'm afraid I would stain it, but otherwise I would have. I tried but the large and medium and medium was much better. I'm 5'9" 135 and have broad shoulders. I can't comment on durability but these shirts seem like they will last a long time. Do your wardrobe a favor and order this shirt!

I used to love this brand but now it went south.
In response to complains about loose fit they decided to do something weird.
I am 5'7"
138 pounds.
Shoulders fit OK in Large but hips are not OK
Quality of silk has gone down.
Shirt is not really black.has some grey undertones.
Too sad.

As other reviewers wrote, this shirt has a very flattering fit, beautiful print, slim cut so you don't end up with extra fabric around your waist line. I'm 6' 149 lbs, chest 37 inch, bought size M and it fits perfectly.
